Creamy Pumpkin Puree

This is one of the easiest and most satisfying preparations for fall pumpkins, or butternut or acorn squash. It’s richness satisfies any urge for mashed potatoes or risotto. A little heavy cream is what makes it seductive, but alternately one can use hearty chicken broth, milk, or dairy substitute. Roasting the pumpkin in the oven until the flesh is soft and slightly caramelized adds wonderful dimension to the flavor profile. Our how-to photos show butternut squash. The garden, farm stand, or local market is your culinary palette.
